Sounds to me like your antenna mast needs replacing - fairly common.

The dealer sell the mast for around $30 bucks.

Go to Volvospeed.com for illustrated instructions if you'd like to do it yourself.

Not uncommon for the antenna mast to need replacing - sounds like the motor is A'OK.

Good Luck !
